What’s Behind Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s $800M Success: WWE, Hollywood, or Business?

Dwayne Johnson has an impressive ‘rags to riches’ story. Almost his whole fanbase knows the financial struggles Johnson faced in his younger days. The Rock was able to leave behind his life of crime to do better things for his family. As a result, he went to college, enrolled in collegiate football, and later on in life, became a wrestler. But this was just the beginning.

The WWE legend made his Hollywood debut in 2001 in ‘The Mummy Returns’ as a supporting actor. After the first lead role he received in 2002, Johnson kept on climbing the ladder to success in Hollywood. Later on, he even started successful business ventures. But what exactly made him a multi-millionaire?

What makes Dwayne Johnson a millionaire?

Having a net worth of $800 million comes with its fair share of hard work. Since The Brahma Bull is involved in various fields of work, what exactly is earning him the most money? Although it could be hard to pinpoint one thing out of his professional life, taking a deeper look can surely help.

The 51-year-old started off his professional journey pretty much with pro wrestling. Unlike other wrestlers, he didn’t have to wander into different promotions to debut in the industry. So, soon after he got introduced to the WWE Universe, he became a hit among the fans. Although the earnings from his older contracts are a secret, since he was a superstar back in the day, we can assume that he most probably bagged multi-million dollar contracts from the promotion.

As a Hollywood star, The Rock secured several blockbuster movie deals, leading him to become one of the highest-paid actors in the American film industry. Three of his highest-grossing movies include Furious 7 ($1.5 billion), The Fate Of The Furious ($1.2 billion), and Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle ($962 million).

He also ventured off into the business world and started popular brands like Teremana Tequila, ZOA Energy, Seven Bucks Productions, the revived football league, ‘XFL’, and many more.

Out of everything, The Rock is expected to have most of his net worth lying within the brands he has set up. Despite the success he has received in every field, DJ still doesn’t look away from room for improvement.

Dwayne Johnson doesn’t back off

Reviving the minor football league XFL was a risky decision to start with. After weighing the pros and cons, the Samoan superstar, along with his business partners, bought the bankrupt league. Despite the successful completion of the first season, XFL faced a huge $60 million loss.
